Why Kudu
Why Kudu
Analytics on Hadoop before Kudu
Fast Scans Fast Random Access
Weak side of combining Parquet and HBase
• Complex code to manage the flow and synchronization of data between the two systems.
• Manage consistent backups, security policies, and monitoring across multiple distinct systems.
Lambda Architecture Challenges
• In the real world, systems often need to accommodate • Late-arriving data• Corrections on past records• Privacy-related deletions on data that has already been
migrated to the immutable store.
Happy Medium• High Throughput. Goal within 2x Impala• Low Latency for random read/write. Goal 1ms on SSD• SQL and NoSQL style API
Fast Scans Fast Random Access
Why Kudu
Data Model
Tables, Schemas, Keys
• Kudu is a storage system for tables of structured data
• Schema consisting of a finite number of columns
• Each such column has a name, type:• Boolean, Integers, Unixtime_Micros, • Floating, String, Binary
Keys
• Some ordered subset of those columns are specified to be the table’s primary key
• The primary key:• enforces a uniqueness constraint • acts as the sole index by which rows may be efficiently
updated or deleted
Write Operations
• User mutates the table using Insert, Update, and Delete APIs • Note: a primary key must be fully specified• Java, C++, Python API
• No multi-row transactional APIs:• each mutation conceptually executes as its own
transaction, • despite being automatically batched with other mutations
for better performance.
Read Operations
• Scan operation:• any number of predicates to filter the results• two types of predicates:
• comparisons between a column and a constant value, • and composite primary key ranges.
• An user may specify a projection for a scan. • A projection consists of a subset of columns to be
retrieved.
Read/Write Python API Sample
Why Kudu
Storage Layout
Storage Layout Goals
• Fast columnar scans• best-of-breed immutable data formats
such as Parquet• efficiently encoded columnar data files.
• Low-latency random updates• O(lg n) lookup complexity for random
access
• Consistency of performance• Majority of users are willing
predictability
MemRowSet
• In-memory concurrent B-tree• No removal from tree – MVCC
records instead• No in-place updates – only
modifications without changing the value size
• Link together leaf nodes for sequential scans
• Row-wise layout

• Column-organized• Each column is written to
disk in a single contiguous block of data.
• The column itself is subdivided into small pages
• Granular random reads, and
• An embedded B-tree index
Deltas
• A DeltaMemStore is a concurrent B-tree which shares the implementation of MemRowSets
• A DeltaMemStore flushes into a DeltaFile
• A DeltaFile is a simple binary column
Insert Path
• Each DiskRowSet stores a Bloom filter of the set of keys present
• Each DiskRowSet, we store the minimum and maximum primary key,
Read Path
• Converts the key range predicate into a row offset range predicate
• Performs the scan one column at a time • Seeks the target column to the correct row offset • Consult the delta stores to see if any later updates
Delta Compaction
• Background maintenance manager periodically
• scans DiskRowSets to find any cases where a large number of deltas have accumulated, and
• schedules a delta compaction operation which merges those deltas back into the base data columns.
RowSet Compaction
• A key-based merge of two or more DiskRowSets• The output is written back to new DiskRowSets rolling every
32 MB• RowSet compaction has two goals:
• We take this opportunity to remove deleted rows. • This process reduces the number of DiskRowSets that
overlap in key range
Kudu Trade-Offs
• Random Updates will be slower• Kudu requires key-lookup before update, bloom lookup
before insert
• Single Row Seek may be slower• Columnar Design is optimized for scans• Especially slow at reading a row with many recent
updates

The Kudu Master
Kudu’s central master process has several key responsibilities: • A catalog manager
• keeping track of which tables and tablets exist, as well as their schemas, desired replication levels, and other metadata
• A cluster coordinator• keeping track of which servers in the cluster are alive and
coordinating redistribution of data
• A tablet directory• keeping track of which tablet servers are hosting replicas of
each tablet
Why Kudu
Cluster Architecture
Partitioning
Partitioning
• Tables in Kudu are horizontally partitioned.
• Kudu, like BigTable, calls these partitions tablets
• Kudu supports a flexible array of partitioning schemes
Partitioning: Hash
Img source: https://github.com/cloudera/kudu/blob/master/docs/images/hash-partitioning-example.png
Partitioning: Range
Img source: https://github.com/cloudera/kudu/blob/master/docs/images/r ange-partitioning-example.png
Partitioning: Hash plus Range
Img source: https://github.com/cloudera/kudu/blob/master/docs/images/hash-range-par tition ing-example.png
Partitioning Recommendations
• Bigger tables, like fact tables are recommended to partition in a way so that 1 tablet would contain about 1GB of data
• Do not partition small tables like dimensions• Note: Impala doesn’t allow skipping the partitioning
clause, so you need to specify the 1 range partition explicitly:
Dimension Table with One Partition

Why Kudu
Cluster Architecture
Replication
Replication Approach
• Kudu uses the Leader/Follower or Master-Slave replication
• Kudu employs the Raft[25] consensus algorithm to replicate its tablets• If a majority of replicas accept the write and log it to
their own local write-ahead logs, • the write is considered durably replicated and thus
can be committed on all replicas
Raft: Replicated State Machine
• Replicated log ensures state machines execute same commands in same order• Consensus module ensures proper log replication• System makes progress as long as any majority of servers are up• Visualization: https://raft.github.io/raftscope/index.html
Consistency Model
• Kudu provides clients the choice between two consistency modes for reads(scans):• READ_AT_SNAPSHOT• READ_LATEST
READ_LATEST consistency
• Monotonic reads are guaranteed(?) Read-your-writes is not• Corresponds to "Read Committed" ACID Isolation mode:• This is the default mode.
READ_LATEST consistency
• The server will always return committed writes at the time the request was received.
• This type of read is not repeatable.
READ_AT_SNAPSHOT Consistency
• Guarantees read-your-writes consistency from a single client
• Corresponds "Repeatable Read” ACID Isolation mode.
READ_AT_SNAPSHOT Consistency
• The server attempts to perform a read at the provided timestamp
• In this mode reads are repeatable• at the expense of waiting for in-flight transactions whose
timestamp is lower than the snapshot's timestamp to complete
Write Consistency
• Writes to a single tablet are always internally consistent• By default, Kudu does not provide an external consistency
guarantee. • However, for users who require a stronger guarantee, Kudu
offers the option to manually propagate timestamps between clients
Replication Factor Limitation
• Since Kudu 1.2.0:• The replication factor of tables is now limited to a
maximum of 7• In addition, it is no longer allowed to create a table with an
even replication factor
Kudu and CAP Theorem
• Kudu is a CP type of storage engine.
• Writing to a tablet will be delayed if the server that hosts that tablet’s leader replica fails
• Kudu gains the following properties by using Raft consensus:• Leader elections are fast• Follower replicas don’t allow
writes, but they do allow reads
Why Kudu
Kudu Applicability
Applications for which Kudu is a viable
• Reporting applications where new data must be immediately available for end users
• Time-series applications with • queries across large amounts of historic data• granular queries about an individual entity
• Applications that use predictive models to make real-time decisions
Why Kudu
Streaming Analytics
Case Study
Business Case

ETL ApproachKey Points:
• Leverage Confluent platform with Schema Registry
• Apply configuration based approach:• Avro Schema in Schema Registry for
Input Schema• Impala Kudu SQL scripts for Target
Schema
• Stick to Python App as primary ETL code, but extend:• Develop new abstractions to work
with mapping rules
• Streaming processing for both facts and dimensions
Cons:
• Scaling needs extra effortsData Flow

Configuration
Pipeline Modules:• Data Reader: reads data from source DB• Mapper/Flattener: flatten JSON treelike structure into flat one
and maps the field names to target ones• Types Adjuster: adjusts/converts data types properly• Data Enricher: enriches the data structure with new data:
• Generates surrogate key• Looks up for the data from target DB(using cache)
• DB Sinker: writes data into target DBOther Modules:• Cache Manager: manages the cache with dimension data
Why Kudu
Key Types Benchmark
Kudu Numeric vs String Keys• Reason:
• Generating surrogate numeric keys adds extra processing step and complexity to the overall ETL process
• Sample Schema:• Dimension:
• Promotion dimension with 1000 unique members, 30 categories
• Products dimension with 50 000 unique members, 300 categories
• Facts• Fact table containing the references to the 2 dimension
above with 1 million of rows• Fact table containing the references to the 2 dimension
above with 100 million of rows
Benchmark Result
Why Kudu
Lessons Learnt
Pain Points
• Often releases with many changes• Data types Limitations (especially in Python Lib, Impala)• Lack of Sequences/Constraints• Lack of Multi-Row transactions
Limitations
• Not recommended more than 50 columns• Immutable primary keys• Non-alterable Primary Key, Partitioning, Column Types• Partitions splitable
Modeling Recommendations: Star Schema
Dimensions :• Replication factor equal to
number of nodes in a cluster• 1 Tablet per dimension
Facts:• Aim for as many tablets as you
have cores in the cluster
Why Kudu
What Kudu is Not
What Kudu is Not
• Not a SQL interface itself• It’s just the storage layer – you should use Impala or
SparkSQL
• Not an application that runs on HDFS• It’s an alternative, native Hadoop storage engine
• Not a replacement for HDFS or Hbase• Select the right storage for the right use case• Cloudera will support and invest in all three
Why Kudu
